Operation Manual FLYTEC 6040 GPS 26

3 Navigation

Navigation activities without operating GPS-Receivers is unthinkable these days. Indeed

a chain of satellites is orbiting the Globe. It provides the possibility to determine worldwide

one’s own position very precisely, if minimum 4 satellites are received simultaneously.

The FLYTEC 6030 GPS calculates several readouts by position determination made by GPS.

3.1 Assesment of GPS Reception quality

The FLYTEC 6030 GPS is fitted with a 16-channel GPS-Receiver which is featured with lesser power

consumption and also a significantly shorter satellite detection time. Precision of position is between 7

to 40m. As an average one may assume approx. 20 m.

Normally the instrument recognizes its position under

unobstructed view conditions after

maximum 1 to 2 minutes. If the receiver is switched-off for

a short time (less than 2 hrs.),

the time for new position finding is less than 10 seconds

as a rule. Buildings, mountains or thick forest affect

reception quality of the receiver. Therefore, you should

always look for the best possible visibility around you and

the antenna in the casing should point upwards to the

sky.

In particular when mounted on the steering holder of the

hangglider, we recommend not to have the instrument

fixed under the pilot’s head on the middle of the basis, but

indeed sideways.

In this position the Compeo+ should not have more than

45° deviation from horizontal position

so that the antenna points upwards.

Because the receiving strength of the satellite signals is only approx. 1/1000 of mobile radios, these

radio sets and other disruptive factors (like notebooks) should be operated as far away as possible

from the FLYTEC 6040

The number of received satellites is shown on the upper right side of the bar scale. The longer the bar,

the more precise is the reception quality.

As soon as the instrument has sufficient GPS reception after energising, the date and time of day is

recorded into the internal memory. This action is signalled by the instrument with a slight beep tone.
